Electrify America is a big disappointment



Las time around, it took quite an effort to get our Chevy Bolt 2020 charged using an Electrify America EV charging station near Target in Sacramento (3601 N Freeway Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95834).  The charging station kept giving an error message (a 'network' error).  After talking to an Electrify America rep on the phone we moved the car to a different station and were able to get the charge.
Yesterday, none of their three charging stations at that location worked--even after calling Electrify American and the representative giving tips and resetting the station.
We gave up on Electrify America and headed to an EV Go charging station in the Walmart parking lot (755 Riverpoint Ct, West Sacramento, CA 95605), but ran into another Electrify America charging station before we reached the EV Go charger.  We decided to give Electrify America one more chance.  Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.  Very true!  That Electrify America charging station did not work either.  More time wasted.  Altogether we wasted over an hour at these Electrify America EV charging stations.
Finally reached the EV Go charging station and it worked.
